What a delightful stay! Wendy and Charlie made sure we felt at home in their beautiful house overlooking the Hudson River. The room was cozy and comfortable (best pillows!). They provided many amenities in the room to ensure a restful and convenient stay. We enjoyed a long leisurely breakfast with them with great conversation. Such a lovely couple! Thank you for being so kind and generous. We hope to be back again.

MelissaSeptember 2016

We had a wonderful stay at Wendy and Charlie's. The were very hospitable and welcoming hosts. The have completely gutted and renovated their old home overlooking the Hudson. Our bedroom was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We appreciated the air conditioning when we arrived on bicycles on a very hot afternoon. We enjoyed our conversations with Wendy and Charlie and will remember sitting around the bonfire together.

BarbaraJune 2016

What a beautiful house! I stayed with Wendy and Charlie for one night and they were the most gracious hosts, even cooking me dinner after I arrived late! The room was lovely, and stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need; it was like staying in a 5 star hotel. And that bed! It was so comfortable I didn't want to get out of it in the morning. I didn't get to spend a lot of time exploring the area, so I'll have to plan a trip back, and I'll definitely want to stay with Wendy & Charlie again. Highly recommend!

FionaAugust 2016

I spent 2 days and 3 nights at Wendy and Charlie's home .. I enjoyed the comfort of the house (comfy and warmy house, good bed, good bathroom, lots of charming decoration). The hosts are friendly, available for discussion but also discreet and respectful .. The location is perfect to discover Hudson valley .. the house is in a very quiet and very relaxing .. I would happily stay in this house .. this is probably one of the best airbnb I've done since I started using this formula. Their dog is very funny and very quiet. Thank you Wendy and Charlie J'ai passé 2 jours et 3 nuits chez Wendy et Charlie.. J'ai apprécié le confort de la maison, la gentillesse des hôtes à la fois ouvert, disponible à la discussion et discret et respectueux.. La localisation est parfaite pour découvrir l'Hudson valley.. La maison se trouve dans un endroit très calme et très reposant .. Je reviendrais avec plaisir dans cette maison.. C'est probablement un des meilleurs airbnb que j'ai fait depuis que j'utilise la formule.. Merci à vous Wendy et Charlie

Bruno April 2016

Wendy and Charlie were a wonderful host. They approved our request to stay at the last minute. It was nice of them to stay awake late and welcome us to their beautiful house. Their front porch is a perfect place to start up a conversation or if you just want to enjoy the view from there. I recommend this place to fellow travellers and would to love stay there again when I am around. ~ Divya

Excellent stay. The hosts love to shop antique stores for decor in this historic house. Great view over the Hudson River. Near a couple of restaurants.

We would find an excuse to come back and stay with Wendy & Charlie. Wonderful experience. Very welcoming. Beautiful surroundings.

DianeSeptember 2016

Wonderful place to stay! Charlie and Wendy greeted me warmly and made me feel very welcome in their home. I really enjoyed all the extra touches like coffee and snacks in the room. This couple is fun to talk with and they go out of their way to make sure your stay is exceptional. Will definitely want to return next year!

Fantastic getaway! Clean, quiet and comfortable. Photos don't do it justice. Marianne was a great host and easy to communicate with from start to finish. Kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. Can't wait to go back!

D.June 2016

My friends and I had a magical weekend at Marianne's majestic pool house. The space was enormous, impeccably clean, and aesthetically perfect—looks even better in person than the photos. We will definitely be back again!

JiaJiaMay 2016

Marianne was a lovely and accommodating host and the pool house was beautiful. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to our friends.

RebeccaMay 2016

Marianne was amazing and was so gracious and attentive to our needs. The home was even better than the pics with great attention to detail in the overall decor, amazing bedding and thoughtful organic complimentary teas, etc. We fell in love with the little town, the darling house and the beautiful serene countryside. It was a perfect girls getaway from the NYC crazy. We will def be back soon!

BrookeMay 2016

Marianne's place was a wonderful get-away from the city. We were treated with rolling hills, open space, a natural pond and a gazebo a short stroll from the house. The pool area was very well laid out with a dining table and lounging chairs. In the evening you can see stars and the Milky Way while enjoying the sounds of crickets and the symphony of frogs croaking but don't worry, the windows are sound tight so it won't keep you up at nights. Being situated just off of 9J means you don't see many cars whizzing by. Marianne was very helpful in giving us information and even did some research for us regarding our needs before our arrival date. Very friendly, she even stopped by from her busy schedule to hang out for a few minutes to chat. She is extremely responsive whenever I texted her. Stuyvesant is a great midway point between Hudson and Albany.

HaroldOctober 2016

The place was lovely, and with the little attentions of Marianne it made the stay memorable. She also took time to give me some hint on the surrounding. The apartment is in the country and it is very quiet! I really enjoyed my stay I would go back for sure!

StéphaneApril 2016

We had a lovely stay at the pool house. Marianne is an incredibly generous host; warm and welcoming, while allowing us complete privacy at the house. We will surely return.

Jessica and RoozAugust 2016

We stayed at the house for a night and it was absolutely unforgettable, Marianne waited for us and was very friendly, the house was perfect, there were wine and food for breakfast. The fire place was amazing, wish to had more nights in that lovely pool house!

A full spice cabinet and good olive oil & cooking ware are all in place,so you can stop by the farmer's market and make some yummy meals from fresh local produce...or just get some good pizza and wings or great sushi from our local restaurants!

Deb and her home were both so awesome. Such a cool space with lots of room for hanging out. Great views of the water. Super quiet area. Deb came by to show us a few things and she even had local eggs for us to make for breakfast! Definitely want to go back and recommend staying at her place.

The property was beautiful and exactly as described. I will definitely be staying here again the next time I'm in this part of the country! I highly recommend this property!

A group of nine of us stayed the weekend. We loved it. Checking in and out was a piece of cake. Rebecca was accessible and prompt about fielding questions before the stay. Jody, who met us at the house, was warm and friendly, and his recommendations - from where to fish to where to buy the best pie - were spot on. We especially enjoyed grilling dinner, making s'mores in the fire pit, and the privacy of the manor but the relative proximity to activities (biking, running, fishing, farms, whisky tasting...). Thanks for a great stay, and looking forward to the next time!

CandiceJuly 2015

In so many ways, this property exceeded our group's expectations. The house was perfect for our large group of guys. We were looking for a place that could comfortably sleep everyone, and provide enough space both indoors and outside, so that no matter what the weather was like, we'd still enjoy ourselves. The house was very clean and check-in/check-out were a breeze! The owners live on the property in a separate guest house which worked out perfectly. They were a phone call away if we needed anything, and greeted us with beers and a friendly tour of the property. Everyone had such a great time that we're already talking about making it a tradition and going back!

DanielAugust 2015

The Stuyvesant Manor was great. My office went here for a work retreat and it was a very comfortable and clean stay. Jody was there to meet us and gave us a tour of the house right when we arrived and he was available to us if we needed anything. There was a lot of room for us to split up if we needed to and also enough room for all of us to sit together and do our activities.

KellyJanuary 2016

Rebecca was really helpful with questions before our arrival and accommodating of any requests that we had. Once we arrived, Jody gave us the tour and then left us to enjoy the weekend. This house is a great private place for a large group. We stayed on site all weekend and always had plenty of space to hang out in the day and extra beds at night. I highly recommend.

MariahAugust 2016

Rebecca and Jody were great in addressing all the questions we needed answered. They made us feel at home and the house was exactly as we had hoped. The house itself was large, spacious, had tons of bedrooms/beds (the bedrooms had different formations which was cool). The kitchen was large and had everything we needed to consistently cook for 12 people. The property itself feels like a compound, it's so large! Very cool. We would recommend staying here!

GregoryJanuary 2016

Stuyvesant on the Hudson has far exceeded our expectations. The house is beautiful, comfortable and well kept. It easily and comfortably housed 22 of us (and there were beds for more). It features an amazing central space with huge windows overlooking the green fields and hills. The kitchen is spacious and equipped. And the host, Jodi, is extremely friendly and helpful. When we ran out of gas for the grill he didn't mind us calling, and immediately sent someone to point us to another gas balloon. The surrounding country area is perfect for a relaxed yet stimulating weekend retreat. We hang out on the Hudson's bank, visited some waterfalls, and had great lunch at the cafe in the town 5 minutes from the house.

GalJuly 2016

We stayed at Stuyvesant Manor and it was one of the best trips I've ever been on. The house is gorgeous and extremely well maintained and the property is amazing! The rooms are more than comfortable and there is everything you need to have a great experience. We loved the "man cave" and spent a good amount of time in there. Jodi is the best! He made sure we had everything we needed and was available at any time. He set up clay pigeons and that was a blast. Can't wait to go back. The only thing I would have diferent about our trip is we should have brought more people. Thanks for a great trip.

Guests can access to our living room, dining room and kitchen. We live in the same house.
As much as you would like to! Our farming activities (raising goats, sheep and cows and cheese making) are restarting now so you can even be involved in farming activities if you like to.

We had an amazing time. The farmhouse is incredibly clean, everything is perfectly in order. My daughter played with the goats and we got to see how the cow was milked. Their cheese is outstanding. I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to meet Brett. Superb!

annaOctober 2016

What a lovely spot! Beautifully restored farmhouse with remarkable wide pine floors. We had a lovely hike up through the woods. The hosts were remarkably accommodating. Excellent food, impeccably clean. And how nice to wake up to the ducks quacking! Loved it!

RobinOctober 2014

Everything about our stay surpassed out expectations. The photos don't do justice to the beautiful home -- and even more beautiful land it sits on. From the moment we pulled up, we were made to feel welcome and free to explore. Within five minutes, our kids (5 & 3) were walking alongside friendly goats and chickens and peaking in the cheese-making room. The home is warm and comfortable. You basically have your own wing in the upstairs -- two bedrooms and a small sitting room. We were up with the rooster in the morning and, again, got to watch the goats and sheep head out to pasture. If you're looking for a comfortable upstate farm experience with easy access to places like Hudson, this is a perfect place to visit. We will definitely be going back.

DanSeptember 2016

It was a great cozy comfortable clean home. We were welcomed with a nice burning fireplace. A wonderful evening with a great simple dinner with good conversation among 8 of us incl host , cooks and us 4.

PaulaOctober 2014

Up until my stay here, all experiences with Airbnb hosts have been stellar, where hosts go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, this was not my experience staying with Brent and Alessandro. The house is historic and lovely, but it is not private. The walls are paper thin. The two bedrooms, for $100 a night each, feature a bed, an antique dresser, and an unusable antique chair. No coverings on the windows for privacy, no fan in the rooms (it was a hot weekend in NY during our stay), and the biggest issue: having to share a bathroom with everyone else in the house, which included the owners as well as a houseguest the owners had over during our stay. The bathroom had used towels in it, and was not cleaned prior to our stay: dead flies all over the bathtub and shower, other people's toothpaste in the sink, other guest's toiletries left out on the counter. When we arrived, clean towels were not left out for us. Amenities? None. No attention to detail, no sense of hospitality toward guests. In fact, it was downright insulting to be told if we wanted to use their wifi service, we would have to pay them $10 a day for it. We're paying you $200/night and you can't include wifi as an amenity? Ridiculous. I've been spoiled with other Airbnb hosts that leave homemade muffins for your breakfast, or a mini-fridge with milk in it for your coffee. Small touches that make guests feel welcomed and appreciated. With these guys? Nada. When I mentioned the state of uncleanliness in the bathroom to Brent (Alessandro was conveniently out of town the entire stay, and only available by email), is answer was that we "just had to roll with it" and eventually just told me to "talk to Alessandro; he's the one taking your money". Unacceptable. My friend and I are not high maintenance guests, but we expect a level of cleanliness, hospitality, and professionalism for spending $400 for two nights stay. We did not find it here, unfortunately.

CarmelSeptember 2014

We had a great time staying at Allesandro's and Brent. A & B were really great hosts and made us feel very welcome. Great getaway from NYC and lots of nice places to visit close by.

TimSeptember 2016

We had the best time at Alessandro and Brent's farm. The rooms are side by side and are like a separate unit with a door. The Place is outstanding. Alessandro and Brent are wonderful hosts. They took us around the farm to see the animals and showed us their cheese operation. Such an inspiring trip. Thank you Alessandro and Brent!

AnatMay 2016

The four of us loved staying overnight in this beautiful old house on this old-fashioned European-style livestock farm, set amidst wooded hills--a gorgeous setting with easy access to the sightseeing sites along the Hudson River. Good to have full use of kitchen, bucolic roads for walking and running, relaxing places to hang out outdoors on the porches. Host Brent is a wonderful guy (and it sounds like Alessandro is too), funny and kind and generous with his time. Minor shortcomings with amenities notwithstanding, a great air bnb site for those who like to be a little outside of the conventional rat-race setting. I'd stay there again for sure, and would hope to stay longer next time.

We loved staying at Robert's beautiful home. The place is comfortable, warm, and decorated with care yet totally homey. The building is striking -- I liked the coziness of the bedroom downstairs and the open, airiness of the main room. The loft was great for reading and relaxing. We enjoyed spending each morning drinking coffee on the front porch, and the kitchen was great for making dinner each night. I really liked the lived-in feel of the place, as well. You could tell it was someone's home, from the art on the walls to the items in the pantry. Robert made us feel welcome from the beginning. He was responsive to all our questions, and left out a tray of coffee and snacks so we could settle right in for the weekend. Stuyvesant was great too, only 20 minutes to Hudson yet removed enough to feel like a retreat of its own. We'd definitely stay again.

ChrisOctober 2016

Robert was an excellent host, and the Salt Box exceeded our expectations. We arrived with the heat on, lights left on so we could find our way, and everything we needed to make a roaring fire on a frigid night. It was the perfect weekend away in a cozy and tasteful space, and Robert even left us recommendations in the area, to ensure we made the most of our weekend away. I've already recommended this property to friends, and hope to visit again soon!

SydneyFebruary 2015

I enjoyed a fall weekend with my wife and two other friends at Robert's house. Robert was quick to communicate and very easy to coordinate with. The house is a wonderful country retreat. It has a feeling of luxury without feeling precious. The landscaping around the house and throughout the yard is magical. The surrounding area is very quiet (A welcome sound when escaping the city). I highly recommend this listing to anyone interested in stay in the Hudson Valley area.

RyanOctober 2016

Robert's house is really magical and beautifully manicured. I stayed with my wife and two year old. Well protected from the road, quiet and private. Perfect front porch for meals and hanging out.

Great place and very gracious host!

RobinAugust 2016

Robert's home was comfortable, bright and very charming. We loved the open living room with high pitched ceilings, whitewashed wood and exposed wood beams, lots of light and fantastic art hanging everywhere. The bedrooms were cozy and loaded with character as well and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The outdoor wood grill was a great treat as we could sit around the fire while grilling our dinners. The landscaping was delightful, the with a lovely water lily pond and flowers abound. The area is wonderful, beautiful hikes a short distance away and quiet country roads for biking. Robert was prompt to answer all our questions via text and make us feel right at home.

We arrived late and on the table waiting for us were a vase of will flowers, recently picked apples and a bottle of wine. The property and apartment were better than the photos. Kayla made us feel very at home and was available if we needed her. She gave us a list of suggested places to visit and places to eat and shop. The area is beautiful with lots to do. I hope we get to stay there again.

JackieSeptember 2016

I haven't stopped telling everyone I know about how amazing our stay at Kayla's retreat was. The house, the host the location - the entire experience was so amazing. The place has everything too, so you can drive up the road to her Orchard - pick your dinner and then come back to the house and cook up a storm with all her utensils and spices etc. Kayla and her family were so lovely, and always ready to drop everything to give us recommendations or show us around. The area is so beautiful too, with many great shops and restaurants just 5 min away. I can't recommend her place enough.

LukeOctober 2016

This was a great quiet spot for the weekend with kids. Our arrival couldn't have been easier with a pack n play and sleeping space for our toddler already step up. The kids were completely entertained with the joy of throwing rocks in the pond, watching some fishing, ample kid toys shared by our hosts, swinging in the hammock, watering the flowers and looking at the giant lawn machines in the barn. Kayla went above and beyond, from helping us find child care for our evening out to an emergency cup of milk when we arrived. Everyone slept great with the blackout curtains, comfortable beds and quiet surroundings. This is a great spot for families and we truly felt welcomed and at home.

ZiaiehAugust 2016

We had a wonderful stay at Kayla’s over the Independence Day weekend. It is in a great location being right down the road from Kinderhook, and close enough for a country drive to Hudson, Chatham, and all of the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley. Kayla's property and the grounds are serene and picturesque, truly beautiful and breathtaking. The apartment was perfect and was very nicely prepared for us and our 13 month old. Kayla did a great job designing the living space -- beautiful furniture, luxurious linens and bedding, blackout curtains (we ALL slept great, even our daughter!), the decor. There were so many very sweet and thoughtful touches for our arrival like a bowl of freshly picked blueberries, an assortment of books and toys for our daughter to play with, and a pack and play already setup in the bedroom for our little one. We were just overwhelmed and felt at home immediately. We’ve done AirBnB several times in the past, and this one really stood out as the example of how exceptional and amazing the experience can be. We were also so glad to have the opportunity to meet Kayla and her lovely family-they are all very friendly and so kind. Well done Kayla! We’ll be back!!!

We had a very unusual stay as we didn't check in till 11 o'clock that night and were gone early the next morning. Due to our circumstances we didn't get to experience much of the area, however Alessandro was more than accommodating with our stay. Because I was working a wedding nearby, the location was more than perfect. We were greeted with a pot of coffee and smiles from everyone up and working in the morning. We met the adorable house dogs and even got to see the sheep heading out for their morning. The farm has so much charm and character I truly can't wait to go back and really experience everything. Again, could not ask for more accommodating hosts.

AnatalieAugust 2016

Allessandro was extremely helpful and welcomed us into his home. The home was as described, very charming and in a perfect setting, gorgeous! We think this home is perfect for city dwellers wanting to experience nature, gardening and farm life. Make sure to bring food and a car because there is nothing close by.

SusieAugust 2016

Lime Kiln Farm offers a truly magical and authentic farm stay experience. Brent was extremely welcoming and the 1700's farmhouse is beautifully restored and beyond charming. We weren't able to meet Alessandro as he was in Italy, but look forward to returning sometime soon!

JackieFebruary 2016

This was a great stay in a beautiful old farmhouse on a secluded area of Coxsackie. I highly recommend it as it was peaceful, comfortable and hosted by a charming fellow.

RobertoJuly 2014

Great peaceful place to stay. With a great host. Beautiful clean and welcoming farm. Brent is a great guy and great farmer. In our short stay he gave us a tour of the farm, we learned some pointers and are looking foward to visiting again!

RickJuly 2014

Brent, the on-site host, was marvelously welcoming and fun, and we had a great time. The house is rustic and welcoming, and the sprawling farmland a nice break from our city life. Small town just 15 minutes down the road for supplies and food. The well water is still fairly sulfuric, but an ample supply of bottled water was provided. The bathrooms are remarkably modern, which was nice. Very satisfied with our stay.

GregoryJuly 2014

This farm is a special place. We immediately felt at home, and were invited to visit the two baby goats who had been born the day before. Later that afternoon, as we returned from a walk around the grounds, we got to see a calf who had just been born. The owners are incredibly kind and generous with their time. Can't wait to come back--whether you want to make this farm your getaway destination for a weekend, or you just need a place to stay, I can't recommend it enough. Thanks!

Magical experience for snow lovers! The tipi this time of year is for seasoned winter adventurers. If you haven't spent time outside in a tent during freezing conditions, this is not the listing for you!

You have access
I am usually on the farm and am happy to answer questions. Do not disturb host after 8 pm unless it is a emergency.

We are pretty far from public transportation service. A cab from Albany can be arranged for around $30.

Wow what a great place! Even though I made the mistake of arriving two weeks early to my reservation. Jason did his best to accommodate Us. The first night we stayed in one of the many available camp sites and followed up with a final stay in the tipi. Everything was as described and would definitely recommend a stay. Small tip; try to get there before sundown, it gets dark!

JavierAugust 2016

We loved the place. It was one of the most incredibly awesome experiences we have ever had, its amazing to stay in the woods in Tipi.

LyubaAugust 2016

We loved our stay at the farm! Our host was helpful and acomodating. The place is beautiful and trails to explore everywhere. The Tipi was everything we expected. We are coming back soon!! Tanya and Mel

TanyaOctober 2016

My aunt and uncle had come up to the root cellar room which is also hosted by Jason, and loved it. While there, they saw the garden tipi and suggested we all go up again as a family and get both the root cellar and the tipi. I stayed in the tipi, and had an excellent time. You can drive right up to it, and unload your car. My uncle actually showed up before me and did the check in because I couldn't get there until later on. But Jason and Joan were excellent hosts. There was wood already set up to start a fire in the fire pit inside the tipi. There were laminated directions for having a successful fire, as well as how to open and close the vent up top. There was fire wood sorted by size stored next to the tipi. There was also a very nice hammock, and an outside fire pit. It was very secluded. Not like campgrounds you're probably used to where you're only a few feet from your neighbor. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, but if you wanted your own space, you definitely had it here. This is a farm, and there are several friendly animals to check out. Very nice if you've got kids. I don't, and I really enjoyed it myself. They have chickens, goats, a cow, horses, a koi pond. All the animals are friendly. Definitely a nice change from your average vacation. In the surrounding area, there are several antique/thrift stores as well. You can go to them and find some pretty unique items for decent prices. This is pretty rural, so nothing is super close, but plenty to do within a 15 minute drive. We also ate dinner one of the nights with our hosts and the other people on the farm for a small fee. It was very nicely done vegetarian Indian food. I'm certainly no vegetarian, but I didn't miss the meat. I love spicy/flavorful food, but if you're not good with a little heat, let them know. I am totally into camping, and the tipi was an upgrade from regular car camping. If you've ever done that and enjoy it, you'll enjoy this even more. The tipi is kind of hard to get in and our of, just like most tents. But once you're in there, you can stand up and walk around. Much much better. I definitely look forward to coming back.

DaveOctober 2016

Staying in the tipi was an awesome experience! Unique and very comfortable.

EmilyJuly 2016

We had an amazing time! Once in a lifetime experience!

KatieSeptember 2016

Jason did everything he could to make us feel comfortable. We had a great time despite landing a rainy weekend. Tipi is unique and the grounds are beautiful. Great getaway from the city.

mayaNovember 2016

We had the most incredible experience at Magic Forest Farm! The tipi was exactly as pictured, with a bed provided. The Farm had a beautiful, new outhouse, drinking water aplenty & plenty of animals to play with. There are other campsites on the property so we spoke with some cool people over the long weekend. Jason & Joan were available if we had any questions & one of the gentlemen that works on the farm even cooked us Indian dinner one night (we gave donations, you should too!). Overall, incredible experience & this would be one of the first places I go back to if I want to get out of the city! I would recommend this place to anyone.

MichaelJuly 2016

The room is in the basement but is spacious and directly opens onto their garden, and has a private entrance. Pamela and her husband were very welcoming and helpful with local tips. I recommend!

CédricJuly 2016

Everything was as described. No problems.

BenOctober 2016

We stayed with Pam for a month while between houses, which made it somewhat different from most Airbnb experiences -- it was perfect for us. The apartment was very private and comfortable, and although we had some unusual needs due to the length of our stay, Pam was incredibly flexible, welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Most of all, we loved meeting our hosts, teaching each other to cook new things, and our fascinating and wonderful conversations. We could not have asked for a better experience.

JuliaSeptember 2016

Pamela and her husband were very gracious hosts..after running into problems on the road, our arrival time was going to be rather (URL HIDDEN) made my husband and I feel so good when they said they would wait up for us.. We found the room to be very inviting with plenty of room for our stuff..the bed was extremely comfortable..with its closeness to Albany and the Thurway it was very convenient and easy to get to anywhere.. If we come back this way we will definitely stay here again.

RebeccaAugust 2016

I was greeted nicely and introducted to the space upon my arrival. I was very happy to see that this space was more than adequate. There is a large table for meals as well as a very comfortable bed. I enjoyed sitting on my private patio gazing out on a lovely lawn that had flowers blooming. Pamela was concerned that I was comfortable and provided for my needs. I was very happy to stay here and would do so again.

ClaireOctober 2016

Pamela and her family were very warm and welcoming. The croom was fantastic and overlooked their beautiful backyard. The bed was extremely comfortable, wifi was easy to connect. I would definitely stay here again if we were passing through Albany. Only wish that we could have chatted more with Pamela and her family!

In six years of hosting, we have welcomed and continue to welcome guests of all nationalities, ethnicities, and orientations. We are also always honored to welcome children with special needs, and to do what we can to make the weekend enjoyable and satisfying for both the children and their families.

*** WINTER INCENTIVE***
Winter offers many charms and interests in our area! The animals are in their full shaggy winter-coat glory and happier than ever to visit with you and your children. Feed them peppermints, take a pony ride in the snow, stoke up the wood stove inside, or head out for a winter bonfire... Spend the day at Windham Mountain skiing or snow tubing, and come back for dinner out at one of our sweet local restaurants.
As an added incentive, for the winter months we are offering free hour-long workshops on a wooly craft of your choosing, using our own wool. Learn to knit, needlefelt, handpaint wool, or fingerknit. We can adapt the workshop to your children's age, or your own interests. You would pay for materials, but the guidance part is free. Lots of fun and so lovely to work with wool by a window looking out over the very sheep who provided the wool... Emails for questions or specifics. :)
********************************************************
Come enjoy life on a farm, just 2.5 hours from NYC! Guests to our farm stay get the best of farming, enjoying visits with our goats and sheep, and getting to know our friendly, adorable ponies.
Children can look for eggs, take a riding lesson on our adorable Shetland pony (for an extra fee), and snack on treats in the garden. We have a wooded nature walk on the property, with access (by appointment) to a kayak and a canoe to take out on our wide, sprawling creek.
We offer tours to our guests to meet the animals, see the garden, and visit with the animals.
The sunny 2-bedroom cottage is in a renovated barn on 4 acres of pasture, creek, and woods, adjacent to the owners' 10-acres. Look outside the windows and you'll see ponies and sheep grazing in the pasture, and, quite likely, a flock of heritage-breed chickens happily free-ranging.
The apartment is fully furnished and comes with everything you need, including a fully-outfitted kitchen, towels, pillows, 100% cotton bed sheets, and blankets. Everything is recently renovated: new appliances, including a gas stove, dishwasher and refrigerator. Also new bathroom, and new pine floors.
Each bedroom (a smaller and a larger) contains a queen-sized bed with a cotton futon mattress. Additionally, there is a queen-sized futon mattress in the loft, and a futon-couch in the living room.
The living room and kitchen are in one large room, and are separated by a round farmhouse-style oak table and chairs.
Up a sturdy farm ladder is the loft, equally suitable for playing on rainy days, or for creating a third sleeping area. For winter getaways, there is a woodstove by the kitchen, and a woodpile by the driveway.
Outside of the apartment there is a lawn area with a fire pit and a Weber grill, perfect for grilling and relaxing. The lawn looks out, to one side, on the ponies' pasture. Here, two Shetland ponies are grazing, as is our Nubian goat herd, who would love for you to come and pet them, and maybe feed them your apple cores. Meanwhile, straight ahead and down a small hill, there is a pony paddock, and a stable. Our farm stock changes steadily, but there are always chickens and our extremely popular free-range bunnies, Juliet and Promise. Sometimes, depending on the season and the year: turkeys, ducks, chicks, pigs, lambs and goat kids.
There is also a private garden for the exclusive use of the cottage guests.
One of the highlights of this rental is that guests can take part in the farm activities. Guests are encouraged to look for eggs, and to enjoy a dozen eggs per weekend (if the hens are laying; in the winter they slow down on their egg-laying). Guests may also pet the goats, hold baby chicks when we have them, and pet the goat kids when we have them.
This rental is very family-friendly, and we have seen that children especially have a fabulous time visiting with our animals and taking part in farm life. It is a really wonderful thing to see a city child helping to round up the chickens, or gently holding the chicks, or picking green beans and tomatoes from the garden.
There are also trails through the woods, and a creek where our local wild population a heron, wood ducks, and beavers can often be spotted. We offer self-guided tours and scavenger hunts through the woods and farms for children. We also always supply a list of local food producers where you can buy meat, eggs, milk, cheese, soap, honey, etc.
We are located in Earlton, NY, a tiny hamlet that is about 10 minutes from Greenville and Coxsackie. In either of these towns you can find grocery stores, libraries, banks, etc for all your town needs. We are also less than 10 minutes from Boehm Farm, a family-run pick-your-own apple and peach orchard. Also 10 minutes to Greenville's incredible town park, which has several miles of wooded trails along stone walls and a river.
Further west, we are 45 minutes to Catskill National Park, including the world class skiing resorts, Windham and Hunter Mountains. In addition to sk...

Beautiful rural area in the Hudson Valley, at the foot of the Catskill Mountains.
There is virtually no public transit. Guests should have a car to enjoy the area.
Our low-tech farm cottage does not come with wi-fi, telephone, or TV.

Larissa's place is gorgeous. We enjoyed the hospitality of Larissa and her farm very much. The animals are very friendly and Larissa makes sure you enjoy the farm. The farm house was perfect for our big family. We enjoyed the fresh vegetables picked up from the garden and the fresh eggs for the breakfast. If we have the opportunity again we definitely would stay longer.

Mohac and SandraAugust 2014

We had a fantastic time last weekend at the farm. Larissa and Djuna were wonderful hosts. My family (including two kids, 8 and 3) loved meeting the animals and taking rides on Bugsy, the sweetest of ponies. Djuna offers private riding lessons for kids, and my son really enjoyed riding with her. The house is great, both homey and clean, and it was warm (wood stove!) even in February. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, and the sleeping loft is also really cool. Overall this was a fantastic experience, right down to the fresh eggs, still warm from the chickens. We hope to come back soon!

YasminFebruary 2014

We enjoyed our stay in the farm and the interaction with Larissa and her family including all the farm animals. This is a well kept environment and you are guaranteed to have a memorable experience.

HarrisonSeptember 2016

This was the sweetest introduction to a farm for my little boys and it was such a delight for us to spend time here - surrounded by the beauty of the land and the animals. Our eldest talks endlessly of the ponies, goats and sheep since our visit. It was indeed all we could have hoped for in a respite from the city.

LaurieOctober 2016

Fantastic!!! So sweet . Lovely spot. Definately would stay again!!!

AlisonAugust 2016

We had such a great time at Larissa's place. The house is really wonderful, clean, light and peaceful. The fireplace gave the warmth and cosiness you wish for when visiting the Catskills. The chickens, goats and horses became best friends of our three daughters during our short stay. They all loved the horse back riding. The location and view is stunning and Larissa is a great host. We hope to come back soon!

MarshaJanuary 2012

We stayed at the farm for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The place was cozy and clean and just funky enough to feel a bit bohemian whimsy. The hosts were very welcoming and patiently answered all our questions. We had delicious veggies and eggs from the farm and bought some meat from a woman just down the road. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

AlexisAugust 2015

Larissa was very warm, available and welcoming. Upon our arrival, we were given a casual tour of the farm and animals, followed by a pony ride for our 4 year old daughter. The apartment (part of a converted out building) is cozy and comfortable. It was a family friendly stay, complete with kids books, puzzles and even a microscope. The area is beautifully rural and quiet, with the closest amenities (grocery store, restaurants, etc) a 10-15 minute drive away. Perfect for a family that wants some nature/farm animal time, a couple looking for a quiet getaway, or anyone that wants some proper relaxation and thinking time.

Nestled in the heart of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson River Valley, the Owls Nest Cabin is about 2 hours drive from NYC and just a short drive to popular weekend destination cities such as Hudson and Catskill. The Owls Nest cabin is circa 1840 and the original 'summer kitchen' to the main farmhouse, an 1804 saltbox. It's been lovingly restored and shared with many couples who've hosted weddings on our farm, now we are sharing it more broadly in the 'off season' so more can enjoy it!

Wood and brick walls, along with all the vintage furniture add to the cozy feel. Easily turn on the Vermont Casting fireplace and you may be more in for a night of hanging out with a good book or magazine! A starter set of shampoo, conditioner and soap along with essential oils vaporizer, bath salts and plush bath sheet towels complete the feeling of luxury as you enjoy soaking in our vintage clawfoot tub. When you are ready for bed it's a good nights rest with down pillows, duvet down comforter with cotton matelasse' coverlet and Egyptian cotton sheets. We'll supply a stock of jams, butter, sprouted bread along with tea/coffee that you can make to start off your day.
Guests can enjoy the grounds, walk our trails along the creek and explore. The bluestone patio area if for guest use as well and weather permitting you can enjoy your morning tea or coffee outside. Parking is immediately in front of the cabin on the crushed bluestone driveway.
We are always available by phone or text and generally can be onsite within minutes! If you need us we are here, if you prefer privacy you'll never know we are around;-)

Coxsackie is filled with history and gets it's name from the Native American Indian translation of 'Land of the Owls Hoot'. The cabin itself, along with the homestead, sit directly below the Kalkberg Indian Trail. Less than a mile away you can find the Bronck Home Museum and Gallery. In town you can find almost anything you need for your stay, with great restaurants like SoGo Sushi, Paul's Italian, Red's, Pegasus and the Quarry Steakhouse. Start out your day grabbing breakfast at the local it spot, Chrissy & Tim's Diner...and grab a great sub at Griffin's Market. In the historic Reed Street section of town you'll find period brownstones with great shops and the favorite DownTown Bistro. The Reed Street Bottle Shop boasts a great variety of wines and spirits and is a must see. The new General Store also on Reed Street is targeted to open for year end and promises to have local foods, breads, baked goods and all things 'must have' for a weekend stay.
Hands down though our favorite in town place to go is the Cask & Rasher...our local pub and grub place which has amazing food and a repertoire of IPA's that is pretty impressive. My favorite these days however is the Pear Cider, it's dangerous good! If you're a die hard beer lover you likely already know about our local fav's at Honey Hollow (just google it to find out how to hang out with the owners and grab a growler...or two;-) In season you can head out to a movie at the local drive in just a few miles down the road where you can also hit up Blackhorse Farms and Barbara's Country Treasures, both are can't miss locations just minutes away and can supply gift items and then some.
Feel like you need more? Athen's is just 15 minutes away and boasts a few great restaurants like The Crossroads and a new French place which I hear is very good! Just a few minutes more and you'll be in the city of Catskill, quickly becoming known for it's arts movement...you can find my favorite Thai food restaurant called Wasana's right on Main Street. Live music can be found at The New York Restaurant, which also boasts some great Polish dishes too and a fantastic bar that is hopping pretty much every night of the week.
Hudson is Hudson...I need not say more;-) If you've not been to Warren Street it's only 20 minutes away and just over the Rip Van Winkle Bridge. Speaking of which...as you are crossing the bridge take note of the historic landmark OLANA, Fredrick Church's Moorish inspired mansion that sits atop the mountain overlooking the Hudson River. On your trip 'back' it's worth pulling over the car at the park and walk area before the bridge and get out for a stroll on the Rip Van Winkle walking path to take in the breadth taking views of the Catskill Mountain range! Up for a hike? Try Kaaterskill Falls. Is skiing on the agenda? Try Hunter or Ski Windham in NY or just over the border you can go to my favorite family friendly mountain at Jiminy Peak.
If you haven't guessed by now there are MANY weekends of activities here you can enjoy...that is if you ever leave the cabin;-)
The city of Hudson has the Amtrack train and plenty of taxi's waiting outside anytime. Our local Taxi service can be reached by calling Coxsackie Transport.

Our slice of paradise consists of 225 acres of forested land nestled in the foothills of the Catskills near Albany. We are a homestead and developing Eco village devoted to the principles of organic farming and self reliance. We grow much of our own food and forge many types of wild mushrooms. You will be sure to enjoy the spectacular view, friendly animals and a private Koi pond. The space we offer is truly a work of art! We welcome all types of travelers.

The apartment is a hand crafted work of art. From the granite floors to the elaborate wooden bed and hand sculpted kitchen, you will be sure to enjoy its unique nature. A old cast iron fireplace will cast a romantic glow and keep off the mountain chill. Luxurious sheets and a memory foam mattress will lull you to sleep!
Private basement and large fenced in area with waterfall and Koi pond.
I am a homesteader and rarely leave the seclusion of my farm. I will be happy to answer any question before 8 pm. We host volunteers from all over the world, who are also glad to help and share their stories. For a donation, a farm to table vegetarian meal will be served.

We are the last house on a dead end road. There is a amazing view of Thatcher Park and the surrounding mountains.
There is plenty of parking with a 2 car maximum. There is no close public transportation. Albany is a short drive.

Airbnb asks if I'd recommend this place to a friend. I already have. This is a special place. You can tell that much care went into making it that way. You're staying on a farm, but you've still got all the amenities you might need in this room. Everything is a work of art, hand built with care. There is a queen size bed, a full bathroom, a fireplace, an actual kitchen, a TV, and a beautiful view out the window. Right outside your door is a koi pond and place to sit and relax. There are ducks and chicken, several goats, a very friendly small cow right on the other side of a pretty small fence. You can pet them. There are also horses a bit further away. This is an actual working farm, and you can eat a vegetarian dinner with your hosts and some of their people for a small fee. I'm no vegetarian, but there was nothing missing from the meal. I was very satisfied, and wish I could eat that good at every meal. They know what they're doing. They can teach you about what they do here, or just let you in and you do your own thing. The experience is up to you. They named their place Magic Forest Farm, and that is pretty accurate. It does feel magical here. They're doing a great thing, and I'm glad they're willing to share their place with us here on airbnb. They also have a tipi that I've stayed in. And it was also great. But the root cellar, which I'm reviewing here is definitely the better choice if you're not used to camping, and need something more like a hotel. The root cellar is much more relaxing, and it immediately felt like home. If you need to stay in the area, give these guys a try. I'd stay here any time over a traditional hotel.

DaveOctober 2016

We had a very special experience. The location is gorgeous and the place is very cozy full of handcrafted details, including a cast iron fireplace and a pond with a waterfall fountain. We really enjoyed cooking thanks to a fully equipped kitchen and having meals on the lovely terrace by the pond. It has a spectacular view and it was so wonderful to listen to the goats, chickens and other beautiful farm and wildlife. There are a few trails to hike around and for further hiking and or sightseeing you can drive to lots of nearby places including the Catskills. Our hosts where very nice and super helpful to any additional things we needed, including sharing some fresh milk and the most delicious olive oil which we forgot to bring. I look forward to returning and would highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect nature getaway.

SebastianOctober 2016

Our stay at Magic Forest Farm was everything we had hoped for in our first airbnb experience. We were welcomed graciously and felt completely at home with our accommodations. If you relate to Jay and Joan's intentions in the description, please stay here, support their ambitions. We learn from each other...this is a place of acceptance, sharing and growing for all and will be our new home away from home!

DenelleOctober 2016

Our hosts made us feel very welcome, like we were part of their family. We enjoyed the warm atmosphere and the breathtaking views from our private room and the surrounding areas. The perfect weekend get-away, it was quiet and relaxing, everything we were expecting! We will definitely be booking again very soon.

1850 tastefully restored Farm House in Kinderhook NY on 7 acres, we have 2 rooms to choose from offered for our guests, both sleep 2 people.

Our 1770s home is located in the historic village of Kinderhook, which is a wonderful home base for exploring the Hudson Valley and The Berkshires.

Located on the quiet main street of the historic Hudson River village of Coxsackie, NY, Mansion + Reed's Room 2 offers a grand view of the village's Riverside Park and the Hudson River, quiet a queen bed and a double bed, a full kitchen, lounge/dining area, private bathroom with shower, a flat screen TV with Roku, WiFi, and AC/Heat. Your room is steps away from the gorgeous Riverside Park. Stroll along the edge of the Hudson and watch the tug boats, river tides, and birds go about their lives.

Coxsackie is a small, historic Hudson River village. The 1800s brick storefront buildings all along the village's main street have been well preserved. You will be staying in one of them! Original wide plank pine floors warm up the room, and the view of the river is the main attraction.
You will have this loft-like guest suite all to yourself. A coded entry lock allows you to come and go as you please without needing to check-in with me in person.
I live in the storefront building two doors down, so I am always close by to offer help or suggestions. Your privacy and personal enjoyment are important to me, so you won't see me unless you want to! Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need anything at all.

Coxsackie is a very small, quaint riverfront village perched on the Western banks of the Hudson River. There is one (delicious) restaurant in town, located in the next building over: The Downtown Bistro. Just up the hill on 9W, we have more restaurants, a pub, and a diner. The towns of Athens, Catskill, and Hudson are short 10-20 minute drives away with more great restaurants, bars, shopping, antiques. The surrounding area offers as many farms, orchards, and hikes as you could hope for.
The Hudson Amtrak station in Hudson, NY, is the nearest train station. There are several taxi services or car rental options there. Hudson is a 20 minute drive across the Rip Van Winkle Bridge from Coxsackie. We are a 2.5 hour drive north of NYC and 30 minutes south of Albany, NY. The area does not offer much in the way of public transportation, so if you want to explore the surroundings, a car is recommended. Or just have a quiet, restful retreat in-town- no car needed!

Had a really great stay at this lovely location. Was pleasantly surprised by how great our room was. Lia even put out some food bowls for our puppy.

SvetlanaSeptember 2016

Lia's apartment was fantastic and definitely as advertised. The place was clean, cozy and we enjoyed all the little additional touches. Would highly recommend!

Step into history at Windrift Hall, a tastefully restored 1790s Federal Style Manor house on 14 acres with a private pond overlooking meadows, woods, a gently flowing creek and manicured gardens.

Old world elegance meets new world charm in this classic manor house in the picturesque Hudson River Valley.
It features 4 bedrooms with 7 queen/single beds, 2 baths, library, study, gracious center hall, a beautiful country kitchen and sleeps comfortably 12 guests. The house is filled with a mixture of European and American antiques of the Hudson Valley. Every room including the kitchen has a wood burning fireplace. If you like cooking you will love the kitchen. We're passionate cooks, so it's fully equipped with a professional Viking stove, fridge and dishwasher and tons of cooking machines and tools. But the best is the view. The windows are facing the pond. So while you're chopping your vegetables you might be lucky to see a blue heron landing gracefully at the shore or study the hawks circling in midair.
Nature is all around you. The house is situated on a hill overlooking beautifully landscaped meadows with fields, mature trees and plantings, stone walls, gardens, a pond and the gently flowing creek which is surrounding the property. In summer you might like to take your meals in the shadow of the 250 old maple tree in front of the house or on the shaded terrace in the back. To cool off you could swim in the pond or lounge in the chaise lounges and deck chairs placed throughout the property.
We're open for weddings and retreats. Set in a secluded and bucolic location, we're very different from the usual corporate venues out there. You will be able to spend some time with your family and friends in a beautiful setting and will have the freedom to create your vision and add your very personal touch to every detail of your special day. Please take a look at our site windrifthall_dot_com for more details and logistics.
Since this is a much bigger event than just a small family gathering there are some logistics to keep in mind. We have worked closely together with the Town of Coxsackie and have all the necessary permits to assure you can host your event in a safe and nurturing environment. We are not a wedding factory. The people who come to us are looking for a unique, unforgettable experience in an intimate setting without the usual rush of other places. If that sounds like something you're interested in, we would love to talk to you. Please refer to our calendar for open dates, we'd be happy to show you around and talk about all details of your upcoming event.
Looking forward to meet you.
CHECK-IN AND OUT TIME:
Check in time is 4pm, check out at noon. There's a number lock on the front door and we’ll email you the code prior to your stay.
The house is exclusive to your party, if you need help we're only a phone call away and our local caretaker Brooke is standing by in case of emergencies.

Conveniently located at the corner of Route 81 and 9W, you’ll find a supermarket, a gas station, a pharmacy, a pizza restaurant, a wine shop and a medical emergency center. Personally I love to shop at the Black Horse Farm on 9W towards Athens. They have a huge selection of fresh organic produce. While listening to the classic radio station, you can sample their delightful spreads of homemade products while browsing through the shop.
Our 300sf spring fed pond is set in a dramatic natural setting and perfect for swimming, but if you feel like going to an outdoor swimming pool, there’s the Catskill Valley Pool in the nearby town of Athens.
Are you a yogi? You will love our Manduka Pro-Lite mats and props. We're happy to recommend local teachers for an invigorating or restorative yoga class at the pond.
You’re welcome to use the public tennis courts of Coxsackie or you might enjoy a round of mini-golf on 9W while trying one of the 26 delicious ice cream flavors served at Tom’s next door.
If you feel like watching a movie we have a flat screen TV with a Netflix account or you might like to see the latest flic at the charming Drive-In Theatre on 9W.
If you’re interested in historic places don’t miss out on a tour through the Broncks House and Museum. It’s in walking distance and one of the oldest houses in America. Our library has books about all the historic places in the Hudson Valley, Olana across the river at the Rip van Wrinkle Bridge or Clermont on 9E are just a few other beautiful mansions to visit within 1/2 hours drive.
If you stay with us I’m sure you have a love for old and beautiful things. Our place is the best starting point for your antique treasure hunt.
For antiquing around the corner we recommend the Coxsackie Antique Center on 9W showcasing the wares of 100 local dealers and across the river is the town of Hudson, famous for some of the most eclectic antique shops in the country. A stroll along picturesque Warren Street takes you to dozens of shops ranging from high-end stores with fine period pieces to unique little boutiques. There are also some nice restaurants. My personal favorites are the Swoon Kitchenbar and Crimson and Sparrow.
Some of the best hikes are in the Catskills. You’ll find maps, hiking and walking guides as well as other information about Greene County in our library.
Within 30min drive there are 2 great ski resorts in the town of Hunter and Wyndham. After a day on the slopes, you will really enjoy to snuggle up in front of one of the 5 working fireplaces in the house.
Please refer to the guidebook on this site for exact locations.
Our house is very easy to find. The location is:
256 Smith Road, West Coxsackie, NY 12192
Getting there by car from New York you have a few options. You can take the Interstate, follow I-87 towards Albany and take exit 21B towards Coxsackie. Or you can take a more scenic route alongside the Taconic Parkway, take exit Hudson, cross the river on the Rip Van Wrinkle Bridge and follow the signs to Coxsackie. After about 2 miles at the Stewarts gas station, turn right on Route 81 in direction to Greenville and Earlton. Take the first left onto Lovecky Road. At the end of that road at the stone house turn left again and follow the dirt road till the end. Both ways take about 2.5h.
Trains are usually leaving every 2 hours from Penn Station, NY to Hudson and back via Amtrak.
At the Hudson station you can take a taxi to our place for your return to the station you can call a local limousine service Coxsackie Transport.

I can't say enough wonderful things about my stay at this beautiful farmhouse. Every design detail was perfectly thought-out and yet understated. One of my guests even said it was a "pintrest / instagram dream." A perfect place to see fall, wander in the yard, cook in the amazing kitchen, play games by the fireplace. Susanne was very responsive and accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a better stay!

JennaOctober 2015

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Susanne's incredibly special home. Upon walking in, one feels an immediate sense of history as the home's structure, inside and out are original but well maintained. Very unique property with much to appreciate. We would love to return. Thank you Susanne and Jean Louis!

TylerApril 2015

This was my second time at Susanne and Jean Louis's lovely home. It's always such a treat - the house is so beautiful and Susanne is very accommodating. Spent a lot of time reading by the fire, playing chess, and cooking up meals in the gorgeous homey kitchen. I highly recommend.

MonaNovember 2011

Susanne was incredibly helpful. My wife and I had our wedding here and stayed in the house with some members of the Bridal party. The entire experience was absolutely wonderful. We want to go back and stay on another weekend when we can just relax.

ConorJuly 2016

We had an excellent time at Jean Louis and Susanne's home. It is absolutely beautiful! We can't wait to return.

Emily January 2011

Susanne was a great host -- it was very easy to communicate with her and everything was just as pictured. It was the perfect house for a weekend getaway from New York City. We utilized the lake, did yoga in the yard (great that they have yoga mats and blocks!) and enjoyed the beautiful kitchen for cooking and overall the iconic history of the home. We did go into Hudson one night for dinner at a restaurant she recommended which was also lovely. I would definitely recommend to a friend as we experienced the perfect weekend. Thanks again Susanne for the wonderful stay!

RachelAugust 2016

We had a great stay with a group of five people. The house is very characterful and spacious. In particular we enjoyed cooking and having meals in the amazing kitchen and the open fireplaces throughout the house made things feel very cosy and atmospheric. The town of Hudson is nearby which is great for an afternoon of antiquing and stocking up on supplies. Susanne was a responsive host throughout the booking process and our stay. The only slight criticism I would have is that the furniture in the house is slightly sparser than in some of the photos. We found that a single couch in the main room wasn't really enough for a house which sleeps so many people. But overall a visit is highly recommended..

NeilNovember 2014

The house is beautifully restored, curated, furnished and designed. Jean Louis & Susanne clearly have immaculate taste and have lovingly attended to every detail. The grounds surrounding the house were absolutely gorgeous, even in late November when most leaves had lost color. The kitchen is by far the beating heart of the house. We managed to spend most days hanging out there ... cooking meals, tending the fire, reading, playing backgammon etc. Although the house sleeps 10 we were most comfortable in the 6-8 range. We absolutely plan to come back again, as a regular retreat!
